Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #4 Badger
3D InjecTR v1 Razor
Schick Plus Platinum blade
CWR
Lustray Spice AS

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #4 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D InjecTR v1 Razor and the Schick Plus Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

That's an awesome looking brush. It looks to me like a shortened version of an Ruberset 400, yet still different enough to be uniquely its own design. Bravo.

Thanks. This one has only four flutes. It was the fourth brush handle I made. I have reknotted it. Originally I had a best badger in it that shed. I like this one just fine.

4 flutes for the 4th brush. Very fitting. It would be hard to make the numbers of flutes and brushes made match now. Big Grin

I had a wonderful shave with the Eagle Improved razor and a modified Gem blade this morning. 
For me a Zenith boar is always a good choice.

Last week on Wed.,Thurs,&Fri. I got some sweet shaves with Arko, My favorite brush Jayaruh made for me and my G3 GEM Bakelite handled WWII military issued 1912. Whew, that's a long title.lol. Fuzzy gifted me the whole G3 set right down to the mailing box. Looks like I step out of a time machine in the early 40's and picked this up at an Army commisary. Great shaver!! My thanks to the Fuzzmeister!!

   

And here's Jim's Masterpiece of a brush....I LOVE IT!

Below is a pic of that Brush Jayaruh made for me!
